The chase ended near Clermont when the driver of a Toyota 4Runner tossed a disposable cup at Shannon Leslie Cooper, 24, who was driving a Ford Explorer.

The damn SUVs made 'em do it.

But seriesly, my theory is that there'd be a lot less road rage if everyone rode a motorcycle. Discuss.

Git'em off the road!

"Men are usually more aggressive, but that doesn't mean they are the only ones who are aggressive."

This statement seems just so stupid in so many ways....

Oh, of course, it's the media's fault.

Road rage..... sounds like SUV rage. I mean after all whats a 4 Runner in an Explorer world. Some girls just don't get it.

Women behind the wheel of any large vehicle scare me to death. The women who drive school buses are the worst. The ones where I live are maniacs. I can't count the times that I have almost been hit by one of these women bus drivers. I think the large vehicles give them a sense of power. Add a cellphone, and you really have a problem! BTW -- I am a woman!

Asian women are the worst. I've seen them back up at red lights, go the wrong way, even stop in the middle of the freeway to get on the exit ramp. All those stuffed animals in the back seat make it hard for them to see... being 3 foot and some inches tall to begin with.

"hell hath no fury...."

That saying was around long before Frued, in one form or another.

In my own experience in Chicago, whenever a driver aggressively moves forward to prevent me from merging, or changing lanes, or whenever a driver honks at a car that doesn't begin to accelerate precisely when the light turns red, that driver invariably is a woman.

My theory is that in the last 20 or so years, drivers have been warned not to react to a provocative driver because the incident could escalate to a shooting or stabbing. As a result, the roadways were made safe for belligerent drivers and women who are angry or especially aggressive have found it a safer haven to act out their aggressiveness on the roads.

I'd be curious if others have had a similar experience.

Do the toll plazas have security camersa that record the tags of the cars that go thru them? Maybe they can trace the woman that way?

"Men are usually more aggressive, but that doesn't mean they are the only ones who are aggressive," said Jim Hoffheimer, president of the American Institute for Public Safety

Men may be more aggressive, but they're better drivers.

I am a woman, by the way.

Female Road Rage

Isn't there a bumper sticker that says: "I have PMS and a gun"?
